What an accomplishment!!! If he ever sells the Marlins he could become commissioner of the NHL if the current commissioner ever steps down as he has the same moral integrity as Gary Bettman. Nobody can lie better than Bettman and Loria (except of course Bud Selig).What a hall of fame lying trio; first ballot lying hall of famers. A close fourth would be mini me (David Samson).</p>Jeffrey Sodusta commented on 'Samson transcript from LeBatard show'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017d3dc5793c970c2012-11-16T18:31:22Z2012-11-16T18:31:22ZJeffrey SodustaI think Samson just don't get it and stupid enough just to say.

I read through this carefully. yes we may blame it on the loss, At the end of the day, Loria and Samson doesn&#39;t care about what the fans and neither should we. If we could keep flooding the airwaves like we&#39;re doing now, we could save South Floria sports. I mean come on, Dolphins suck, and the trade made the Marlins suck. Samson just don&#39;t get it. Why rely on scouts. Go with ur gut feeling because it doesn&#39;t seem they don&#39;t know what the hell their doing. </p>chet commented on 'Samson transcript from LeBatard show'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017ee5394f6d970d2012-11-16T16:57:50Z2012-11-16T16:57:50ZchetThis is shameful.

It&#39;s all about the value of the franchise was increased dramatically because of the $400 million that the taxpayers of the city of Miami and Miami-Dade county put into that ballpark. I would have NEVER agreed to build this guy a stadium unless he committed in writing to minimum payroll levels. Don&#39;t want to do it? Fine. No stadium. </p>
<p>And the nerve of this guy to talk about Loria&#39;s financial commitment to the stadium. The taxpayers funded 80% of the cost and are on the hook for the annual maintenance. He&#39;s got a sweetheart lease, and they&#39;ll be pulling out the tarp to cover the upper deck in that brand new stadium that will ensure that baseball remains in Miami for generations. </p>
<p>It&#39;s s shameful. He&#39;s going to collect more in revenue sharing than he&#39;ll spend in payroll, and the excess, plus their share of the TV revenue, plus every nickel that&#39;s spent at that stadium will go to line Loria&#39;s pockets.</p>
<p>Selig and the other owners are to blame here as well. This scum destroyed baseball in Montreal (albeit not much of a market), and now he&#39;s doing the same thing in south FL. Yet they thought it was a good idea to approve the sale of another team to him. He must have pics of Bud in some very unflattering positions. </p>mike commented on 'Samson transcript from LeBatard show'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017d3dc34658970c2012-11-16T15:18:16Z2012-11-16T15:18:16Zmikesamson says they wont trade the rest of their payroll (Nolasco)...maybe , but they already tried to..they shopped him to...<p>samson says they wont trade the rest of their payroll (Nolasco)...maybe , but they already tried to..they shopped him to Boston...I guess what he means to say is they can&#39;t trade him...no one wants him.</p>Jose D.

I hope everyone is smart enough not to go the games, and force Loria to sell the team, because even at 10 million salaries range, if only 1000 people show up he wont be able to pay the loan. The funny thing is that with a 90 million payroll and a new stadium even if they do not win more than 90 games, the team is worth maybe 200 million. But with the team they ahve now, I doubt if anyone will pay him more than 150 million and assume the loans. These guys think we are stupid, they play us for a song, and now we must make them pay for it. </p>mike commented on 'Samson transcript from LeBatard show'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017ee535c089970d2012-11-16T11:33:04Z2012-11-16T11:33:04ZmikeThe Sociopathic front man for the carpetbagger will just say the same BS over and over...cxl the radio show and...<p>The Sociopathic front man for the carpetbagger will just say the same BS over and over...cxl the radio show and just play repeats.

<p>Bottom line is, this management doesn&#39;t know how to put a team together. Everyone is playing out of their natural position, we&#39;ve lost our scouting prominence, and we could use a hitting coach.</p>

Samson using the phony excuse for this move that Marlins fans wanting anything is BS. Reality has proven that they dont care what anybody else wants or thinks. Also, Lebatard should pin down Samson on what other moves to upgrade the roster for next season will be made to avoid a last-place threepeat.

And in the same manner that the proof about Jones can be found in his complete lack of success since, the proof about Jeffrey Lurid and his lackeys is found in THEIR complete lack of success since 2003.</p>
<p>&quot;Figure it out&quot;??? What arrogance! A total arrogance that has chased away quality managers like Fredi Gonzalez and Joe Girardi, and an arrogance that almost certainly will result in a 100-loss season next year, the next sacrificial lamb will be Larry Beinfest.

Leblanc , Turner , Evoladi , the 14 game loser from the Jays and who else ???? I can understand not wanting to lose , but don&#39;t insult the fans intelligence with your BS. When does a 41-44 team get ripped apart at mid season , and sell off the entire rest of the team in the off season????? All for cheap prospects , with minimal talent , save Brantly , Turner , and possibly Eovaldi ??? Normal baseball people ADD to what they have not completely dismantle .

<p>Yeah that sounds about right. Lets be honest here, this team is going to lose 100 games. There starters will rarely make it through 6 innings and right now there is no lineup whatsoever. Stanton is likely to have 100 walks to go with his 200 strikeouts.</p>

<p>Flav, I was responding to your post on the Marlins payroll even reaching $20 million next year. I agree that it will be low and if they do trade Nolasco and Lomo the payroll may very well be in the 20 to 30 million dollar range. That will be considerably below this years lowest payroll which I believe was Oakland at $58 million, though if someone else does know for sure what is the lowest payroll please feel to correct me. Also remember that a few years ago the league reprimanded Loria for not spending the revenue sharing funds he was collecting on the payroll. If the payroll is as low as we are expecting I would find it hard to believe Loria would not again be collecting revenue sharing from the larger market clubs and considering his history I do not believe that both the league and the union would let Loria slide by with such a low payroll. This could lead to a truly embarrassing situation for Loria because right now I don&#39;t see any free agent wanted to come here even if there is a large paycheck included. Could you imagine the league telling Loria to spend his revenue sharing funds but him being unable to find any players willing to accept his cash? I know there is only a remote chance of this occurring but I do wish that embarrassment upon Loria.</p>
<p>Well that was the deleted post. Manny if there is something in there violating the blog rules that requires it being deleted then I do apologize as that is not my intention, and if it is the case could you please inform me of the rule so I do not unintentionally break it again in the future?</p>no longer a fan commented on 'Samson transcript from LeBatard show'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017c337fc13f970b2012-11-15T04:42:25Z2012-11-15T04:42:25Zno longer a fanhow arrogant this samson guy. what crap. the guys that got traded are much better off than being stuck with...<p>how arrogant this samson guy. what crap.<br />

If Marlin fans are serious they will not put one more cent in this guys pocket. The only fans that should be going to see a game at the Marlins ball park are the fans of the opposing team. Thus, attendace should be somewhere around 5000 per game. Let&#39;s be true S. Florida fans and don&#39;t go to the games. Right now this guy is laughing at us, so let&#39;s show him. </p>Flav C. commented on 'Samson transcript from LeBatard show'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017d3dad5b29970c2012-11-15T03:19:23Z2012-11-15T03:19:23ZFlav C.Just read Capozzi mentioning that the Marlins are shopping Nolasco and Morrison.

Huizenga was bad but he looks like a saviour compared to Loria and his step son Samson. They have no concept about putting a quality team on the field. All they know is profits....

I wish I could dig up my paver and chuck it in the bay. This is worse than what the McCorts did to the Dodgers; it is borderline criminal to rob the taxpayers in Miami for the stadium to watch AAA baseball. They should have to go back to the old Miami Baseball Stadium with this ownership/management group.</p>Don Suttelle commented on 'Samson transcript from LeBatard show'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017c337e1bee970b2012-11-15T01:06:02Z2012-11-15T01:06:02ZDon SuttelleWhat a spin, Why not keep the players one more year and hire the right manager to lead them.<p>What a spin, Why not keep the players one more year and hire the right manager to lead them.</p>Orlando Dolphan commented on 'Samson transcript from LeBatard show'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017c337e0b9a970b2012-11-15T01:00:50Z2012-11-15T01:00:50ZOrlando DolphanWhat a ponzi scheme.

He just ripped off the tax payers in S. Florida.</p>
<p>If you can&#39;t afford the team, then sell it. David Sampson should be ashamed of himself too for even trying to defend the garbage that they just pulled off. The players they got in return are not even rated as high as Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller. </p>
<p>Will they even attempt to have a Marlins Fan Fest this year. Who is going to show up to that? At least sports fans will have more money to spend on the Heat and Fins. Loria how does it feel to know that you have a joke of a franchise. S. Florida fans are not Cub fans we will not go see a loser play. I hope that we can break the franchise record for low attendance this year. </p>Camera Mike commented on 'Samson transcript from LeBatard show'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017d3dac7b9f970c2012-11-15T00:54:15Z2012-11-15T00:54:15ZCamera MikeDid he really say that he has faith in the teams scouts and upper baseball management because they were a...<p>Did he really say that he has faith in the teams scouts and upper baseball management because they were a big part of the &#39;03 championship? The vast majority of the &#39;03 team was put together by Dave Dombrowski&#39;s staff under the ownership of John Henry. That whopper is one of the biggest lies in a history of big lies Samson has told.

Their trades have sucked (Cabrera for nobody), first round picks are horrendous and he even admitted that try made huge mistakes in free agency. Again, Dan should have nailed him on that and asked them why weren&#39;t they accountable. Should fire themselves.....</p>
